I love it when I am able to receive a VoxBox from Influenster to try out a new product and when I received the e-mail that I was selected fro the Vaseline VoxBox I was excited as always!

For those of you who don’t know Influenster is a website that sends you samples in VoxBoxes for you to try FOR FREE! The entire point of the program is to test out the product and let others know what you thought.

The cool part about Influenster is that you don’t have to be a blogger or YouTuber to sign up and get boxes. Granted it does help when it comes to your ‘influence’ score after you link your social accounts – but it isn’t necessary to be chosen for a box. From what I gathered companies look for certain demographics to send their product to for review purposes and that plays a lot into if you will get a box or not (along with the influence score). If you are interested you can sign up here!

This is the 3rd VoxBox I’ve received since signing up not even a year ago (it will be one year in May). I’ve received the Bella VoxBox and the Pampers VoxBox before this one.

Now onto what I thought of the Vaseline Intensive Care Lotion. Overall I was quite happy with it. I always have been a fan of Vaseline products although I will admit I had never tried the lotion before.

Ever since the arrival of my Baby Girl I tend to fall into the category of the “hand sanitizer mom” and I do it proudly. My little girl had a rough start and ended up in the hospital at two weeks old for an entire week (blog post to come on that) so I am shamelessly overprotective about germs. As a result my hands have become *super* dry because I’m always washing my hands or using hand sanitizer.

That’s why I am so happy I received this VoxBox – because this lotion is great! I am so happy it is unscented first off – because I wouldn’t have used it otherwise (don’t want my baby girl to have a ton of random scents around her – especially while we are sorting out an allergy issue.) The lotion itself was surprisingly hydrating and it didn’t leave you feeling greasy – which is a pet peeve of mine when it comes to lotions!

Overall I was quite happy with the lotion and I will certainly be using it again (and keeping an eye out for coupons on it!)

I am a *somewhat* long-time subscriber to Julep (almost a year). They reeled me in with the free first box and I fell in love! Because of that I have tried their mystery box on more than one occasion and have an entire arsenal of makeup items that I just love.

The great part is that you can still get a free Maven Box Yourself (just pay shipping – which is more than worth it!) with a subscription with code “BOXLOVE”

Jumping right into what I selected for this box!

For those of you who don’t know I’m a HUGE lip gloss addict. This by far my favorite item that Julep has – the entire line of this particular kind of lipgloss. They smell amazing and they look great on too! The colors here are Awestruck and Splendid.

Awestruck is the top gloss that is a golden blush color with a hint of shimmer that is perfect for everyday wear. This particular gloss is general in my purse (or now I should say diaper bag) almost always.

Splendid is the bottom gloss that is a darker rose color. I think this is a great color that can match nearly any outfit. It is one of those colors that you can’t go wrong with – almost a timeless look. I usually put this on if I plan on going somewhere – even if it’s just for a lunch with friends.

The last item I selected for my Julep Box was the No Limits Hydrating Cream. It took me a bit to figure out how to work it – not going to lie. Once I figured out you push the large button (I wasn’t paying attention to the sticker that was on it – at the time I had a sever case of pregnancy brain) I fell in love. You push the button and the cream comes out of the small circle directly above the button – wasn’t what I was anticipating but I really like it.

The cream itself is wonderful. I absolutely love it – it honestly is super hydrating. Since my baby girl has been home I have become the hand sanitizer mom – as a result my hands were always super dry. Then I started using this and it has helped tremendously. It is a thicker cream and not a lotion so it does have that thicker feel to it but it was exactly what I needed.

So as many of you know I am obsessed with Julep – I seriously just cannot get enough of their makeup or nail polish for that matter. Ever since I received my first box I’ve been a fan! I started out super excited about the nail polish but I quickly discovered how amazing their makeup was thanks to a Mystery Box I decided to get. The cool part is if you haven’t tried Julep before – you can get your first box for free (all you pay is shipping).

1. Feel Like Velvet Collection – lo & behold: This is a soft pallet that is perfect to wear during the day – I use it for more of an everyday type pallet. The lighter color is perfect for highlighting the corners of your eyes (it is a very light color). While the darker color complements the light perfectly and I absolutely love using them both together

2. Glow Highlighting Powder – Champagne: I use this whenever I go out! It is my all time favorite highlighting powder. I use a fan brush to dust the highlights on my cheeks and face. If you are in need of a good highlighting powder I would highly recommend this one!

The far two left colors are lo & behold while the far right is Andromeda

4. Julep Fluid Eye Glider: This is the perfect eye liner is you want to get that perfectly put together line. Plus it lasts very well and goes on super easy. This is one of the product I received in a mystery box and it will forever and always stay in my eyeliner arsenal.

5. Julep Lip Gloss – Vivid: I’m addicted to anything and everything lip related when it comes to make up. It truly is my weakness. I literally have every single one of the lip glosses from this particular line that Julep offers but Vivid is by far my favorite. I love the darker hue that it has – I’ve always thought I looked better with a darker lip so that may be why I love this color so much. Plus the lip gloss itself smells amazing. I received my first ‘color’ in this line in my first julep box (that I was able to score for free – and you can too). Ever since then I made it a point to always get one of these lip glosses in my monthly maven box!

6. Blank Canvas Face Primer: This is another one of those items I received in a mystery box and I fell in love. I’m not going to lie – I was one of those people who didn’t see a need for a primer *gasp* (I know – what was I thinking?!). Had I not received this product in a mystery box I probably never would have tried it on my own and boy would I be missing out. This is such a wonderful primer that helps your makeup last longer and it doesn’t make your face feel greasy (a personal pet peeve of mine).

Those are my all time favorite Julep make up items – I will have a post in the near future about my all time favorite Julep nail items because that is what originally drew me into the maven subscription.

If you want to try Julep out yourself you can receive your first box for free (I will warn you – you may become addicted like myself!). The current code for January of 2016 is “ICEBOX” but these sometimes change every couple months as does the box you get to receive for free.

Hello Everyone!

This is the Arvazallia Hair Care system – Shampoo, Conditioner, and Argan Oil Mask! These are my new favorite hair care items. The first thing you will notice once you open them is that they smell AMAZING! honestly I absolutely cannot get enough of the scent!

One of the best features of this product is that there are no harmful chemicals in it – yay – however this comes with the result of it not suds-ing like you would expect. It certainly had me a bit perplexed at first because it almost felt like my hair wasn’t getting washed properly. Within about 4 days that feeling went away when I saw how great my hair looked (not to toot my own horn – but it did look good).

Don’t even get me started on the conditioner! It is honest to goodness the best conditioner I have ever used in my life. This certainly has me stepping up my SwagBucks game to get more Amazon gift cards. After using this my hair feels 110% better than I ever thought it could. This winter did a number on my hair – super dry and frizzy – after using these products for a little over a week all of that went away.

I’ve only used the Argan oil a couple of times – but my hair certainly felt much softer after. I truley can not say enough good things about the Arvazallia products here – and – it’s worth another mention – they smell AMAZING!

Hello and Welcome to my blog! I am a Child of God, Wife, Mama to my baby girl and fur-babies. I LOVE to coupon, try new recipes, and attempt DIY projects. Thank you for stopping by and I hope you explore for a while!
